Principles and Practice of Grief Counselling

The book describes the unique aspects of grief as a normal response to loss, and views the goal of counseling bereaved individuals as one of facilitating the unfolding of the healthy and adaptive aspects of the process as it manifests itself within each client. This text introduces various theories of bereavement and examines different therapeutic modalities that can be used in the context of grief and loss. It also addresses grief counseling with special populations, ethical issues, and self-care concerns for counselors.
